Abstract
Lightweight semiconductor devices are fabricated upon a relatively thin substrate member by a process wherein the substrate is first bonded to a relatively thick support member. The semiconductor device is then formed on the bonded substrate, and the substrate is subsequently removed from the support member by utilizing a beam of radiant energy to skive the substrate from the support member without damage to the semiconductor device. Also disclosed herein is a system for implementing the invention.
